Projects setting aside affordable units in unincorporated LA County qualify for state-mandated density bonuses, parking reductions, and concessions under California Government Code Section 65915 and LACO Title 22.140.250, with bonuses now up to 80 percent.
California Government Code Section 65915, implemented locally by LACO Title 22.140.250, requires LA County to grant a density bonus when a project reserves a defined share of units for very-low, low, or moderate-income households or seniors. Bonuses scale from 20 percent up to 50 percent above otherwise-allowed density, with additional incentives, concessions, waivers, and parking reductions. AB-2334 (effective 2023) raised the maximum bonus to 80 percent in qualifying jurisdictions when 100 percent of units are affordable. Approval is ministerial when statutory requirements are met; the Department of Regional Planning cannot deny eligible projects or impose additional discretionary conditions.
Improperly denied density-bonus projects can sue the county under Government Code Section 65915 for damages, attorney fees, and writ relief compelling approval.
